*Describe a piece of technology you own that you feel is difficult to use* One piece of technology that I find quite difficult to use is **Adobe Photoshop**. I first got this software about two years ago when I needed to edit some photos and design simple posters for work. At that time, Photoshop was the most popular and professional option, so I decided to learn how to use it. I don’t use it very often, maybe once or twice a month, mainly when I need to retouch photos or create basic designs. However, every time I use it, I feel a bit stressed. The main reason is that Photoshop has a huge number of functions, tools, and buttons, which makes it quite confusing for beginners. Even for simple tasks, I have to spend a lot of time adjusting layers, colors, and details. In addition, it doesn’t provide many ready-made templates or strong AI features, so everything has to be done manually. Because of that, I feel that Photoshop is powerful but not very user-friendly. While I respect its professional quality, I sometimes wish it were simpler and more intuitive to use. --- *IELTS Speaking Part 3 – Band 7.0* *What technology do people currently use?* People currently use a wide range of modern technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, big data, and automation.
